DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Color Reduction From RO Concentrate

  The City of Palm Coast, FL was experiencing elevated color in the concentrate stream being directed to the lime softening facility to recover as drinking water. In an effort to meet secondary color standards at the lime plant, this water quality issue limited the volume of the concentrate able to be recovered.

• Avoiding Misguided Pipeline Replacement Expenses

  Whichever the relevant adage — measure twice, cut once…a penny saved is a penny earned…look before you leap — the concept of being thoroughly prepared to minimize lost time, wasted money, or potential embarrassment is well founded.

• LTE-M Standard Redefines Cellular Efficiency For Water Meter Readings

  The term “cellular” often calls to mind certain assumptions and limitations based on prior experience with consumer cellphone networks. Don’t confuse cellular-based Internet of Things (IoT) applications with past cellular experiences, though. The relatively new Long Term Evolution for Machines (LTE-M) standard represents a whole new ballgame. In short, “This is not your father’s cellular network.”

• Aclara RF Network System Stands Up To Hurricane Sandy

  When Hurricane Sandy struck in October of 2012, Aclara's RF network technology, which was installed across New York City's five boroughs, was under pressure to perform effectively. 

• A More Measured World Of Water

  Measurement is critical to the water industry. Whether it’s improving efficiency levels, investing in infrastructure or funding innovation – one thing is certain, accuracy matters and the sums have to add up.

• How To Calculate Chlorine Demand When Treating Iron & Manganese With Solid Manganese Dioxide

  Most treatment systems for removing iron and manganese from groundwater sources use chlorine, oxygen or various other chemicals to oxidize the clear state of iron and manganese to an oxidized or solid form so the particles can then be filtered out. If complete oxidation occurs and if the oxidized floc is of suitable condition, a filtration system consisting of filter sand and anthracite is used.

• Depths Of Druck's Experience Prevents Leaks For Water Authorities

  Druck’s Customer is a manufacturer of data logging equipment, used in the monitoring of water distribution systems. As with many of Druck’s Customers, they install sensors into the component or assembly that they in turn supply to their customer.

• McCrometer's Startup Service: An Overview

  Sometimes, a meter installation isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be. Many flow monitoring projects can start out simple and evolve to be very complex, especially when the meter is meant to solve a challenging measurement issue. To prevent potentially time-consuming and frustrating delays and issues, McCrometer offers a startup service. So, what does this service include, and should you book this service for your next meter project?

• How To Optimize Flow Measurement For Process Efficiency

  Busy municipal water engineers will find that the new Water and Wastewater Treatment Guide from Fluid Components International explains how to optimize flow measurement in 20 different municipal applications.

• Leakage Management: Meeting The Challenge

  Anglian Water has reduced leakage by 20% since 2010 and has committed to a further 23% reduction by 2025. Overwhelmingly, customers have told Anglian Water that leakage is a high priority and that they want to see it reduced to well below the Economic Level of Leakage (ELL).

  The aim was to develop, own and utilize a system that enables cost-effective, smart, real-time leakage monitoring at an individual asset level for Anglian Water's entire network. The team was faced with a multitude of challenging conditions; the sites consisted of a large range of materials, including but not limited to Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Asbestos Cement, MDPE, and PVC.
